The FCC established LPFM to "create opportunities for new voices on the airwaves" and to support programming "responsive to local community needs and interests." LPFM refers to 10 to 100 watt, nonprofit radio stations with a reach of only a few miles. Because LPFM stations are noncommercial and reach a small broadcast area, they hold great promise to offer truly community-driven and locally oriented programming.
The FCC is now modifying the original rules adopted in 2000 and seeking public comments about the control of LPFM stations, their licensing rules, and protecting LPFM signals from interference.
